2 A METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING THE EXTENT OF AGING IN AN ASPHALT
Cross-Reference to Related Applications [0001] This application claims priority to PCT International Application No.
PCT/US2016/37077 filed June 10, 2016 and claims the benefit of U.S.
Provisional Application Nos. 62/385,905 filed September 9, 2016 and 62/385,899, filed September 9, 2016 each reference herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Background [0002] Asphalt pavement is one of the most recycled materials in the world, finding uses in shoulders of paved surfaces and bridge abutments, as a gravel substitute on unpaved roads, and as a replacement for virgin aggregate and binder in new asphalt pavement.
Typically, use of recycled asphalt pavement is limited to sub-surface pavement layers or to controlled amounts in asphalt base and surface layers. Such uses are limited in part because asphalt deteriorates with time, loses its flexibility, becomes oxidized and brittle, and tends to crack, particularly under stress or at low temperatures. These effects are primarily due to aging of the organic components of the asphalt, e.g., the bitumen-containing binder, upon exposure to environmental factors. The aged binder is also highly viscous. Consequently, reclaimed asphalt pavement has different properties than virgin asphalt and is difficult to process.

Background [0002] Asphalt pavement is one of the most recycled materials in the world, finding uses in shoulders of paved surfaces and bridge abutments, as a gravel substitute on unpaved roads, and as a replacement for virgin aggregate and binder in new asphalt pavement.
Typically, use of recycled asphalt pavement is limited to sub-surface pavement layers or to controlled amounts in asphalt base and surface layers.

These effects are primarily due to aging of the organic components of the asphalt, e.g., the bitumen-containing binder, upon exposure to environmental factors. The aged binder is also highly viscous. Consequently, reclaimed asphalt pavement has different properties than virgin asphalt and is difficult to process.
[0003] To reduce or retard the impact of asphalt aging on the long-range performance of mixtures, numerous materials have been investigated. For example, rejuvenators are marketed with a stated goal of reversing the aging that has taken place in recycled raw materials such as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAS). It is unlikely that the marketed rejuvenators actually rejuvenate asphalt and the more likely scenario is that these additives may instead serve as softening agents for the virgin binders employed in mixtures containing RAP or RAS or combinations of both. In some instances, 10% or more by weight of these softening agents are added to the virgin binder when such mixtures are produced. As a result, the entire blend of virgin binder, rejuvenating additive and recycled binder additive has reduced stiffness versus the same blend without the rejuvenating additive.
[0004] Aging can be assessed by measuring ATc, the difference between the Stiffness critical temperature and the creep critical temperature after aging.

[0059] Current bituminous paving practices involve the use of high percentages of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and Reclaimed Asphalt Shingles (RAS) as components in the bituminous mixtures being paved. Typically RAP concentrations can be as high as 50% and RAS
concentrations can be as high as 6% by weight of the paving mixture. The typical bitumen content of RAP is in the range of 5-6% by weight and the typical bitumen content of RAS is in the range of 20-25% by weight. Consequently, a bituminous mixture containing 50% by weight of RAP will contain 2.5% to 3% RAP bitumen contributed to the final bituminous mixture and a bituminous mixture containing 6% RAS by weight will contain 1.2% to 1.5% RAS
bitumen contributed to the final bituminous mixture. In many instances both RAP and RAS recycled additives are combined in a bituminous mixture; for example 20% to 30% RAP and 5% to 6%
RAS may be incorporated into a bituminous mixture. Based on the typical bitumen contents of RAP and RAS, bituminous mixtures containing 20% to 30% RAP and 5% to 6% RAS
can result in 2% to as much as 3.3% binder (based on the total mixture weight) being derived from the RAP and RAS combination. Since a typical bituminous paving mixture will contain about 5.5%
total bitumen, there accordingly may be about 36% to as much as 60% of the total bitumen in the bituminous mixture from these recycled sources.

[0061] Table 2 shows the high and low temperature properties of samples produced with virgin binders and bitumen recovered from post-consumer waste shingles after different periods of aging. Also shown in Table 2 are high and low temperature properties of mixtures containing RAP and RAS. Some of these mixtures have undergone extended laboratory aging and some are from field cores.
[0062] Tables 1 and 2 show the impact of incorporating high binder replacement levels of recycled materials, especially those derived from post-consumer waste shingles. The data demonstrate the desirability of incorporating additives into bitumen and bituminous mixtures to mitigate the impact of the bitumen from these recycled components and retard further oxidative aging of the total bitumen in the final mixture. The last three rows of Table 2 show that the further away from the air-mixture interface, the lower the impact on ATc parameter. This parameter may be used to assess the impact of aging on binder properties and more specifically the impact of aging on the relaxation properties of the binder; the relaxation property is characterized by the property referred to as "low temperature creep grade".
[0063] Research published in 2011 showed, based on recovered binder data from field cores, that ATc could be used to identify when a pavement reached a point where there was a danger of non-load related mixture cracking and also when potential failure limit had been reached. In that research the authors subtracted the stiffness-critical temperature from the creep or m-critical temperature and therefore binders with poor performance properties had calculated ATc values that were positive. Since 2011 industry researchers have agreed to reverse the order of subtraction and therefore when the m-critical temperature is subtracted from the stiffness critical temperature binders exhibiting poor performance properties calculate to ATc values that are negative. The industry generally agreed that to have poor performing binders become more negative as performance decreased seemed to be more intuitive. Therefore, today in the industry and as used in the application, a ATc warning limit value is -3 C and a potential failure value is -C.
[0064] Reports at two Federal Highway Administration Expert Task Group meetings have shown a correlation between ATc values of binders recovered from field test projects and severity of pavement distress related to fatigue cracking. Additionally, it has been shown that when binders used to construct these field test projects were subjected to 40 hours of PAV aging, the ATc values showed a correlation to pavement distress related to fatigue cracking, especially top down fatigue cracking which is generally considered to result from loss of binder relaxation at the bituminous mixture surface.
[0065] It is therefore desirable to obtain bituminous mixtures with bitumen materials that have a reduced susceptibility to the development of excessively negative ATc values.
[0066] The data in Table 1 show typical virgin binders produced at refineries can maintain a ATc of greater than -3 C after 40 hours of PAY aging. Further, the data in Table 1 show that binder recovered from RAP can have ATc values of less than -4 C, and that the impact of high RAP
levels in new bituminous mixtures should be evaluated. Further, the extremely negative values of ATc for RAS recovered binders require additional scrutiny as to the overall impact of RAS
incorporation into bituminous mixtures.
levels in new bituminous mixtures should be evaluated. Further, the extremely negative values of ATc for RAS recovered binders require additional scrutiny as to the overall impact of RAS
incorporation into bituminous mixtures.
[0067] Table 2 shows that it is possible to age bituminous mixtures under laboratory aging followed by recovery of the binder from the mixtures and determination of the recovered binder ATc. The long term aging protocol for bituminous mixtures in AASHTO R30 specifies compacted mix aging for five days at 85 C. Some research studies have extended the aging time to ten days to investigate the impact of more severe aging. Recently, aging loose bituminous mixes at 135 C for 12 and 24 hours and in some instances for even greater time periods have been presented as alternatives to compacted mix aging. The goal of these aging protocols is to produce rapid binder aging similar to field aging representative of more than five years in service and more desirably eight to 10 years in service. For example, it has been shown for mixtures in service for around eight years that the ATc of the reclaimed or recycled asphalt from the top V2 inch of pavement was more severe than 12 hours aging at 135 C but less severe than 24 hours aging at 135 C.
[0068] The data in the first two rows of Table 2 show why long-term aging of mixtures containing recycled products is important. The binder recovered from the unaged mix (row 1) exhibited a ATc of -1.7 C, whereas the binder recovered from the 5 day aged mix exhibited a ATc of -4.6 C.

[0069] The disclosed additives can alter (e.g., reduce or retard) an asphalt binder aging rate, or can restore or renew an aged or recycled binder to provide some or all of the properties of a virgin asphalt binder. For example, the additives can alter or improve physical and rheological characteristics such as stiffness, effective temperature range, and low temperature properties of the asphalt binder.
[0070] Asphaltenes include extensive condensed ring systems with some level of unsaturation.
The asphaltene content of typical binders can range from less than 10% to more than 20%.
Asphaltenes are typically described as materials that are insoluble in n-heptane. An exact structure is unknown and based on the performance behavior of different binders it is unlikely that the asphaltene structure in any two binders is the same, especially those from different crude sources. Asphaltenes give a binder its color and stiffness and their levels in a binder tend to increase as the binder ages. Consequently, the addition of RAP or RAS or combinations of both causes the asphaltene content to increase. Increasing asphaltene content along with other products of oxidation such as carbonyls and sulfoxides are responsible for the stiffening of bituminous mixtures and their ultimate failure. By their very chemical nature asphaltenes are not readily soluble in aliphatic chemicals. Aromatic hydrocarbons will readily dissolve asphaltenes and aromatic process oils have been used in recycled mixtures. However these oils may contain polynuclear aromatic compounds including listed potential carcinogens and therefore are not desirable additives. Most plant based oils are straight or branched chain hydrocarbons with some level of unsaturation and therefore are not as effective at retarding aging as they are at softening the overall binders in a mixture.

[0071] Titerpenoids are a major group of plant natural products that include sterols, triterpene saponins, and related structures. Triterpenoids can be of natural or synthetic origin. Typically they are obtained by extraction from plant material. Extraction processes for the isolation of triterpenoids are described e.g., in the international applications WO

[0072] The triterpenoids include and be sources for sterols and stanols. The disclosed triterpenoids refer to the non-esterified forms of any of the sterols or stanols mentioned herein. In certain embodiments, the anti-aging additive is a sterol. In certain embodiments, the anti-aging additives can be plant sterols and plant stanols. In certain embodiments, the triterpenoids can be a source of sterols.
[0073] Exemplary pure plant sterols include campesterol, stigasterol, stigmasterol, P-sitosterol, A5-avenosterol, A7-stigasterol, A7-avenosterol, brassicasterol or mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the sterol blend contains 13-sitosterol as the pure sterol. In other embodiments, the sterol blend contains a mixture of pure sterols. Commercially available pure sterols and mixtures of pure sterols include those available from MP Biomedicals (Catalog No.

02102886) referred to as beta-Sitosterol (beta-Sitosterol ¨40-60%; campesterol ¨20-40%; Stigmasterol-5%).
[0074] Exemplary crude plant sterols include modified or unmodified natural products containing significant quantities of sterols, including such diverse plant sources as corn oil, wheat germ oil, sarsaparilla root, soybean pitch and corn oil pitch. For example, tall oil pitch is obtained during the process of preparing paper from wood, particularly pine wood. Tall oil pitch is an extremely complex material that can contain rosins, fatty acids, oxidation products and esterified materials, an appreciable fraction of which are sterol esters.
Plant sources of crude sterols are inexpensive in that they are the foots or tailings left from various manufacturing processes

[0075] In some embodiments, the crude sterol sources include stigmasterol, 13-sitosterol, campesterol, ergosterol, brassicasterol, cholesterol and lanosterol or mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the crude sterol sources include soy bean oil, corn oil, rice bran oil, peanut oil, sunflower seed oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil, rapeseed oil, coffee seed oil, wheat germ oil, tall oil, and wool grease. In some embodiments the crude sterol includes a bio-derived source or partially distilled residue of the bio-derived source. In some embodiments, the crude sterol source includes tall oil pitch, soybean oil or corn oil.
[0076] Any of the oil tailings or pitches from the disclosed plant sources is suitable crude sterol sources. U.S. Pat. No. 2,715,638, Aug. 16, 1955, to Albrecht, discloses a process for recovering sterols from tall oil pitch whereby the fatty acid impurities are removed by a neutralization process. Following this, the sterol esters are saponified; the free sterols are then recovered and washed with isopropanol and dried. If sufficiently purified, the recovered free sterols may be used as pure sterols rather than as crude sterols.
[0077] The crude sterols preferably are obtained from plant sources. The crude sterol can include components in addition to the desired sterol or sterols. Exemplary plant sources for crude sterols include tall oil pitch, crude tall oil, sugar cane oil, hot well skimmings, cottonseed pitch, soybean pitch, corn oil pitch, wheat germ oil or rye germ oil. In some embodiments, tall oil pitch is a source of the crude sterol. Tall oil pitch can include about 30 to 40%
unsaponifiable molecules.
Unsaponifiables are molecules that do not react with alkali hydroxides. Fatty and rosin acids remaining in the tall oil pitch readily react with potassium or sodium hydroxides and thus the unsaponifiables can be readily separated. It has been shown that 45% of the unsaponifiable fraction can include sitosterols. Therefore, a tall oil pitch sample can contain approximately 13.5% to 18% sterol molecules by weight.

[0078] In some embodiments, the additive can be an animal sterol such as cholesterol.
[0079] One of skill in the art will understand that a triterpenoid can be used as a source of sterols The source of sterols can be used as an anti-aging additive in an amount effective to provide a less negative ATc value after aging the asphalt binder compared to a similarly-aged binder without the anti-aging additive. In certain embodiments, the anti-aging additive can provide an asphalt binder a ATc of greater than or equal to -5.0 C. As shown herein, pure sterol (e.g. 5%) retards aging better than other additives as shown by the ATc value.
[0080] The additive added to the asphalt may for example range from about 0.5 wt.%, to about 15 wt.%, or about 1 wt.%, to about 10 wt. %, about 1 wt.% to about 3 wt.%, about 3 wt.%, to about 5 wt.%, about 5 wt.% to about 10 wt.%, about 10 wt.% to about 15 wt.%, of the virgin binder in an asphalt.
[0081] In some embodiments, the sterol can provide an asphalt binder with a ATc of greater than or equal to -5.0 C. In some embodiments, the sterol can provide an asphalt binder with a ATc of greater than or equal to -5.0 C after 40 hours of PAV aging. In still other embodiments, the sterol can provide an asphalt binder with a less negative ATc value and a decreased R-Value following aging, when compared to a similarly-aged asphalt binder without the sterol.
[0082] It should be noted that the terms "mixed sterol" or "sterol blends" or "sterol in blend" or grammatically equivalent phrases have been used interchangeably to refer to pure sterols.
Softening Agents & Other Additives
Softening Agents & Other Additives
[0083] Softening agents that may be used in binders include waste engine oil and waste engine oil that may be further processed to provide REOB. REOB is a low cost softening additive and asphalt extender obtained from the residual material remaining after the distillation of waste engine oil either under vacuum or at atmospheric pressure conditions. The distilled fraction from the re-refining process is converted into new lubricating oil for vehicles, but the bottoms do not have an available market due to the presence of metals and other particulates from internal combustion engines. Also these bottoms contain paraffinic hydrocarbons and additives incorporated into the original lubricating oil. For many years REOB were used by some companies as an asphalt extender, but the usage was localized.
[0084] Greater amounts of waste engine oils are being re-refined and therefore greater amounts of REOB are being sold into the asphalt binder market. The use of REOB may result in bituminous mixtures, which when aged, exhibit ATc values of -4 C or lower with consequent poor performance in pavements. When REOB are added to some asphalts at levels as low as 5%
by weight, the resulting ATc after 40 hr. PAY aging can be -5 C or lower (viz., more negative).
Recovered binders from field mixes shown to contain REOB by means of metals testing have shown greater distress than field mixtures of the same age and the same aggregate and paved at the same time but not containing REOB.

Recovered binders from field mixes shown to contain REOB by means of metals testing have shown greater distress than field mixtures of the same age and the same aggregate and paved at the same time but not containing REOB.
[0085] The disclosed sterol can mitigate the impact of waste engine oils (e.g.

REOB) on ATc (as evaluated, for example, using 40 hr. of PAV aging) and renew or retard the aging rate of the recycled asphalt.
[0086] The disclosed sterol can also be used to mitigate the impact of other softening agents, which behave similarly to REOB. In other words, the other softening agents are agents when aged, have ATc values of -4 C or lower with consequent poor performance in pavements. These other softening agents include synthetic or virgin lubricating oils (such as MOBILTM 1 synthetic oil from ExxonMobil Corp. and HAVOLINETM 10W40 oil from Chevron USA Inc.), virgin paraffin or naphthenic base oils, untreated or non-rerefined waste drain oils or waste engine oil materials, vacuum tower asphalt extenders (the non-distillable fraction from re-refining used engine oil) and paraffinic or naphthenic process oils.
[0087] It should be noted that softening agents such as bioderived softening agents (e.g. Cargill's 1103 and Arizona Chemical's RS1100) can soften an asphalt binder without adversely affecting the asphalt binder in the same manner as REOB. The sterol can retain much of the beneficial softening of these bioderived softening agents.
[0088] The asphalt may contain other components in addition to the disclosed sterol. Such other components can include elastomers, non-bituminous binders, adhesion promoters, softening agents, rejuvenating agents and other suitable components.
[0089] Useful elastomers include, for example, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, polybutadienes, ethylene-propylene copolymers, ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymers, reactive ethylene terpolymers (e.g. ELVALOYTm), butadiene-styrene block copolymers, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block terpolymers, isoprene-styrene block copolymers and styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block terpolymers, chloroprene polymers (e.g., neoprenes) and the like.
Cured elastomer additives may include ground tire rubber materials.
Cured elastomer additives may include ground tire rubber materials.
[0090] In one embodiment, the binder includes a blend of binders. In certain embodiments, the binder blend includes virgin binder and binder extracted from reclaimed asphalt. For example, the binder extracted from RAS material may be extracted from manufacturer asphalt shingle waste, from consumer asphalt shingle waste, or from a mixture of binders extracted from manufacturer and consumer asphalt shingle waste. In certain embodiments, a binder blend may include from about 60 wt % to about 95 wt % of virgin binder and from about 5 wt % to about 40 wt % of binder extracted from reclaimed asphalt such as RAS. In certain embodiments, the binder blend includes the addition of an anti-aging additive from about 0.5 wt % to about 15.0 wt % of the virgin asphalt. In certain embodiments, the binder blend can include the addition of from about 0.2 wt % to about 1.0 wt % anti-aging additive. The anti-aging additive has been shown to improve high and low temperature properties and PG grading for both low and high temperature ends of RAS-containing asphalt binder blends.
[0091] The asphalt binder may be prepared by mixing or blending the sterol with the virgin binder to form a mixture or blend. The mixture or blend can be added to recycled asphalt materials (e.g. RAS and/or RAP) and aggregate. One of skill in the art will recognize that any sequences of adding and mixing components are possible. Asphalt can be prepared by applying mechanical or thermal convection. In one aspect, a method of preparing an asphalt involves mixing or blending a sterol with virgin asphalt at a temperature from about 100 C. to about 250 C. In some embodiments, the sterol is mixed with the virgin asphalt at a temperature from about 125 C. to about 175 C, or 180 C to 205 C. In some embodiments, the asphalt is mixed with asphalt, sterol and softening agent. In still other embodiments, the asphalt is mixed with asphalt, RAS, RAP, or combinations of RAS and RAP, sterol and aggregate.
[0092] The disclosed asphalt can be characterized according to ASTM
specifications and test methods, in addition to many standard tests. For example, the disclosed asphalts and binders can be characterized using rheological tests (viz., dynamic shear rheometer, rotational viscosity, and bending beam).
specifications and test methods, in addition to many standard tests. For example, the disclosed asphalts and binders can be characterized using rheological tests (viz., dynamic shear rheometer, rotational viscosity, and bending beam).
[0093] At low temperatures (e.g., -10 C), road surfaces need cracking resistance. Under ambient conditions, stiffness and fatigue properties are important. At elevated temperature, roads need to resist rutting when the asphalt becomes too soft. Criteria have been established by the asphalt industry to identify rheological properties of a binder that correlate with likely paved road surface performance over the three common sets of temperature conditions.
[0094] To determine the ATc parameter, a 4 mm DSR test procedure as described above and developed by Western Research Institute (Sui, C., Farrar, M., Tuminello, W., Turner, T., A New Technique for Measuring low-temperature Properties of Asphalt Binders with Small Amounts of Material, Transportation Research Record: No 1681, TRB 2010.

[0095] The ATc parameter can also be determined using the Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) test procedure based on AASHTO T313 or ASTM D6648. It is important that when the BBR test procedure is used that the test is conducted at a sufficient number of temperatures such that results for the Stiffness failure criteria of 300 MPa and Creep or m-value failure criteria of 0.300 are obtained with one result being below the failure criteria and one result being above the failure criteria. In some instances for binders with ATc values less than -5 C this can require performing the BBR test at three or more test temperatures. ATc values calculated from data when the BBR
criteria requirements referred to above are not met are not considered to be completely accurate.
criteria requirements referred to above are not met are not considered to be completely accurate.
[0096] The surface characteristics and changes can be revealed in an asphalt.

[0097] AFM is a type of scanning microscopy that provides high resolution, three-dimensional imaging at the atomic and molecular level. AFM can be used for both topographical imaging and force measurements. Topographical imaging involves scanning the cantilever/tip across the sample surface. A laser beam is reflected off the back of the cantilever, and small changes in cantilever deflection are detected with a position-sensitive photodiode detector. This deflection is processed by the system electronics to determine topological height changes on the sample surface.
[0098] Surface defects may be measured as the surface roughness, expressed as average roughness over an image surface, the average height of the roughness extending out of the surface of the sample, the defect area (i.e. the non-smooth plane of the sample) expressed in [im2 and the defect area expressed as a percent keeping in mind that the area of each image is 400 Rin2. AFM can be used to determine the effects of the disclosed anti-aging additives on an asphalt. AFM was used to determine the effects of sterol as disclosed in PCT

[0099] Applicants have discovered that as binders age, with different sterol levels there can be variation in the amount of "surface defects" that developed in the material being imaged. It is well known to one skilled in the art that as binders age chemical changes occur due to oxidation and heat. These are manifested, and shown herein, as decreases in Colloidal Index, increases in R-Value and more negative values of ATc. Through AFM images it was observed that as aging occurred and as the sterol level increased, the surface roughness of the area being imaged increased. However for any given sterol level as binder aging increased the areas of the surface that protruded from and accumulated on the surface of the imaged region decreased. Without being bound by any particular theory, the sterol may function to agglomerate or accumulate materials in the binder that may otherwise cause an increase in R-Value, decrease in ATc (more negative values), and decrease in Colloidal Index, and thereby isolate such materials within the overall asphalt bulk material. Such a mechanism would in effect sequester those materials responsible for binder degradation and thereby retard the rate at which deleterious changes in properties might otherwise be observed. The data shows that as aging increases, the ability of a given level of sterol to continue to sequester these deleterious components diminishes as presumably more of such deleterious components are produced as the binder ages. Figure 13 shows that the binder samples with the lowest level of defects are the 20, 40 and 60 hour PAY
residues with no sterol addition. In effect the species produced by aging are spread throughout the binder and alter the rheological and chemical identifiers of aging to a negative extent.
residues with no sterol addition. In effect the species produced by aging are spread throughout the binder and alter the rheological and chemical identifiers of aging to a negative extent.
[0100] Applicants have also discovered a relationship between the chemical compositional changes captured by an Iatroscan procedure and the changes occurring at the molecular level captured by AFM when significant aging was studied. As the area occupied by the surface defects decreases the Colloidal Index decreases which represents a more aged material.
[0101] Asphalt is a colloidal system in which the most important structure forming elements are the asphaltenes, which are dispersed in the maltenes. The size of the colloidal particles can be determined using different techniques: ultrafiltration, electron microscopy, small angle X-ray scattering and others. Two parameters that control the stability of asphaltene micelles are the ratio of aromatics to saturates and that of resins to asphaltenes. When these ratios decrease, asphaltene micelles will coalesce and form larger aggregates.
[0102] Asphalt samples can be fractionated into asphaltenes and maltenes using n-heptane (ASTM D3279). The asphaltenes can be precipitated while the soluble maltenes can be obtained as filtrates and subsequently fractionated by liquid chromatography into resins, aromatics and saturated fractions. The resins can be first adsorbed and eluted from solid adsorbents followed by the recovery of the oils. The oils can be fractionated into other components:
saturates, monocyclic aromatics, bicyclic aromatics and polycyclic aromatics asphaltenes, resins, aromatics and saturates, mostly called SARA, and can be determined by various methods, for example, by relying on solubility of the particular chemical groups of bitumen based on polarity. One such method that can be used to quantify three generic fractions of the maltene fraction of an asphalt can be the thin-layer chromatography-flame ionization detection (TLC-FID), also known as an Iatroscan procedure. The three generic fractions determined in the Iatroscan procedure are resins, aromatics and saturates; the asphaltenes having been determined using ASTM
D3279.

The three generic fractions determined in the Iatroscan procedure are resins, aromatics and saturates; the asphaltenes having been determined using ASTM
D3279.
[0103] As the binder ages the asphaltenes increase and generally the cyclics decrease; the saturate content does not change appreciably and the resins increase but not to the same extent at which the cyclics decrease. The overall result is that as the binder ages the Colloidal Index decreases as a result of changes to amounts of these four fractions in the binder. The reciprocal of the CI value is known as the Colloidal Instability Index (CII) and may also be used to characterize aging.
[0104] The colloidal index (CI) can be calculated from the percentage values for four fractions determined from an Iatroscan procedure. The calculation for CI is:
[0105] CI = (Cyclics + Resins)/(Asphaltenes + Saturates)
[0106] As the binders age the general trend is for the defect area or surface roughness to decrease. This may be interpreted to mean that initially the components that result in binder degradation are agglomerated and as they age these components oxidize resulting in chemical changes that cause the Colloidal Index to decrease. Primarily these changes appear to be an increase in asphaltenes and decrease in cyclics. These chemical changes appear to reduce the ability of the binder to relax stresses as manifested by increases in R-Value and decreases in ATc. The presence of the sterol additive appears to remove those components that cause property degradation (also referred to as deleterious components) and render them less effective than they would otherwise be. As the data shows, this retardation of degradation is not a permanent change in the binder but can substantially extend the time before the binder will reach a state of degradation were the sterol not present.
[0107] In one embodiment a method for identifying aging in an asphalt, wherein the aging is identified by surface defects or average roughness using AFM, and wherein the asphalt is determined as aged if the surface defects or average roughness decrease. In other embodiments, AFM is used in a method for identifying an aged asphalt that includes analyzing the asphalt for the presence or absence of surface roughness or surface defects by AFM, wherein the sample is identified as aged if reduced surface roughness is detected.
[0108] In some embodiments, a method for identifying aging in an asphalt or binder and slowing aging or restoring of the aged asphalt or aged binder includes analyzing asphalt or binder for the presence or absence of surface defects, wherein the asphalt or binder is determined as aging or aged if minimal surface defects are detected; and adding a sterol additive and virgin binder to the aged asphalt or binder to reduce or slow further aging. In some embodiments, the aged asphalt include recycled asphalts, softening agents, and rejuvenating agents. For example, some asphalt include RAS, RAP, REOB, virgin paraffinic base oils, untreated or non-rerefined waste drain oils or waste engine oil materials, vacuum tower asphalt extenders, paraffinic or naphthenic processing oils and lubricating base oils. In certain embodiments, an effective amount of an anti-aging additive can provide a less negative ATc value after aging the asphalt binder compared to a similarly-aged binder without the anti-aging additive. In some embodiments, the anti-aging additive can provide a less negative ATc value after aging an asphalt binder compared to a similarly-aged binder without the anti-aging additive. The asphalt binder can include for example at least 3% or greater RAS, at least 25% or greater RAP, at least 5% REOB or greater, at least 5% or greater paraffinic oils.
[0109] In some embodiments, the average roughness of an asphalt or binder with sterol additive is 1.5 to 350 m2, 3.6 to 232 [tm2, or 10 to 230 m2.
[0110] The invention is further illustrated in the following non-limiting examples, in which all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.

[0117] The high temperature binder grade for binders in the unaged condition is the temperature at which the binder stiffness equals 1 kiloPascal (kPa) when tested in accordance with ASTM
D7175. The high temperature stiffness grade for binders in all other aged conditions is the temperature at which the binder stiffness equals 2.2 kPa when tested in accordance with ASTM
D7175. This convention is in keeping with typical SHRP PG grading practices.
The results in Table 3 show that when no sterol is present in the sample the high temperature grade increases at a faster rate than when sterol is present. For Sample #1 the high temperature stiffness grade after the 20 hour PAY was 5.1 C higher than Sample #3. After the 40 hour PAY the difference was 6.5 C, or one full PG grade greater in high the high temperature grade. For Sample #2 (with only 10% recovered shingle binder) with no sterol has a high temperature grade that is 3.2 C higher than Sample #4 with 20% recovered shingle binder and 7.5% sterol after the 20 hour PAY and a stiffness grade 5.8 C higher after the 40 hour PAV. The impact on low temperature properties is similar in scope. After 20 hours of PAY aging Sample #4 still has a positive ATc of 1.3 C which is beneficial difference of 2.9 C. After 40 hours PAY aging the ATc of Sample #4 is -1.9 C
which is 2.8 C better than Sample #2. These are significant improvements considering that Sample #2 contained half the amount of recovered shingle binder as compared to Sample #4.
The data summarized in Table 3 shows that not only does the use of sterol retard the impact of aging on low temperature properties, especially the critical relaxation property related to the m-value, but sterol addition also slows the rate at which the high temperature stiffness of the binder increases with age.

[0121] To evaluate whether the use of mixed sterols could mitigate the excessive ATc results observed with REOB in binders, three samples were evaluated. The samples were produced by mixing in a 1 quart can with a low shear Lightning mixer at a temperature of 300-325 F for about 30 min. The REOB samples require less heat compared to the samples with recovered shingle binder as in Example 1. The mixed sterols used are the same as those described in Example 1.
[0122] The binder used in this is example was one of four binders used on a research project on County Trunk Highway 112 in Olmsted County, MN that was constructed in 2006.
Three other binders from other crude sources were also evaluated using identical aggregate blends. The test section containing the MN1-4 binder performed significantly more poorly than the other test sections and MN1-4 contained REOB. The REOB content was not specifically provided, but testing for the zinc content of the binder indicated that the REOB content would have been in the range of 8% to 9%.

[0126] Binder MN1-2 is a polymer modified PG 58-34 produced with a blend of western Canadian crudes; MN1-3 is a PG 58-28 binder from a Minnesota refinery using a blend of western Canadian crudes; MN1-4 is from a Texas refinery using a blend of Middle East crudes from Kirkuk and MN-1-1 is PG 58-34. MN1-4 contained REOB.
[0127] Only samples of MN1-4 treated with 5% and 7.5% sterol and aged for 40 and 60 hours in the PAV all exhibited ATc values greater than (less negative) than the 40 hour PAV of untreated MN1-4. In a direct comparison of the ATc values for 40 hour PAV residues the sterol treated MN1-4 had values approximately half of the untreated MN1-4 binder. The results shown in Figure 4 suggest that had 5% sterol been used in the MN1-4 along with the REOB
the pavement performance after eight years in service could have been comparable to that of the MN1-3 binder.

[0128] To further evaluate the role of sterols on the aging characteristics of binders with reclaimed asphalt binder shingles, four samples were evaluated: a control binder and two binders blended with commercial bio-derived oils that are promoted as rejuvenating additives for use with high levels of RAP and/or RAS. The four binders were:
1. A control binder PG 52-34 with no additive 2. PG 52-34 + 5% mixed sterols 3. PG 58-28 + 5% EVOFLEX PC2106 marketed by Ingevity 4. PG 58-28 + 5% RS1100 marketed by Arizona Chemical

[0129] To investigate the impact of reclaimed asphalt shingles on the aging characteristics of binders the binders detailed above were used to produce bituminous mixtures containing 5%
RAS which were subjected to 24 hours of loose mix aging at 135 C. After this aging step the binders were extracted and recovered and tested for low temperature properties and ATc was calculated

T315 and the low temperature properties as determined from the 4 mm DSR test after 20 hours of PAV aging are shown in Table 6.

[0133] The data in Table 6 shows that although two different starting binders were used once the samples were produced with the bio-derived oils, the high temperature PG
grades were nearly the same and in fact the bio-derived oil blends were slightly lower in stiffness. Conventional low temperature PG grading is determined on the binder after the 20 hour PAY aging procedure.
grades were nearly the same and in fact the bio-derived oil blends were slightly lower in stiffness. Conventional low temperature PG grading is determined on the binder after the 20 hour PAY aging procedure.
[0134] The low temperature PG grade data in Table 6 showed that all four binders met a PG
grade of -34. Therefore prior to producing the bituminous mixtures with the 5%
RAS and prior to the 24 hour aging, the mixtures had been produced with binders of very similar high and low PG grade values.
grade of -34. Therefore prior to producing the bituminous mixtures with the 5%
RAS and prior to the 24 hour aging, the mixtures had been produced with binders of very similar high and low PG grade values.
[0135] Further each unaged binder was mixed with a typical dense graded aggregate suitable for paving a road designed to cany a designed traffic life of 3 million Equivalent Single Axel Loads (ESALs) with the addition of 5% RAS. The 5% RAS contained sufficient binder to provide approximately 20% binder replacement in the mixture. Such a level of RAS in paving mixtures is currently a well-accepted practice in the bituminous paving industry. Each 3000 gram mixture was produced by blending 5% of the RAS with 95% of the 12.5 mm nominal maximum sized aggregate. The total binder content required for the mix was 5.7% but since 20% of the binder content came from the RAS, only 4.56% of each of the binder samples was added by weight of the total mix.
[0136] The mixes were produced in a bucket mixer at a target temperature of 162.8 C (325 F) with two minutes of mixing time and then each was placed in a pan in a layer approximately 18 inches by approximately12 inches by approximately 2.5 inches thick. The mix was not compacted but placed in loose condition in the pan. The pans were placed in a Blue M model 166 forced draft oven at 135 C (275 F) and held at that temperature for 24 hours. After this period, the mixes were removed, allowed to cool to room temperature and then the binder was extracted from the mixtures using a centrifugal extractor with toluene as the solvent to remove the binder. Recovery of the extracted asphalt was accomplished using a Buchi rotary evaporator following ASTM D7906-14, Standard Practice for Recovery of Asphalt binder from Solution Using Toluene and the Rotary Evaporator. Following recovery the 4 mm DSR test was performed. The ATc properties of the binders recovered from the mixtures aged for 24 hours at 135 C was determined using the 4 mm DSR. The results of those tests are shown in Table 7.

[0137] The data in Table 7 shows that through 40 hours of PAV aging there is little difference between the low temperature S-Critical and m-critical grades and the ATc properties of the four binders. However Table 8 shows that once the RAS containing mixtures were produced, aged and then the binder recovered and tested it was clear that the sterol-blended binder resisted the aging and loss of binder relaxation that is characteristic of aged RAS
mixtures. It should be further noted that this resistance to aging is not a function of the base binder used to produce the mixtures. The base binder used for the Evoflex PC2106 and AZ Chemical RS1100 was a PG 58-28 while the control binder and the binder used in the sterol blend was a PG
52-34. Regardless of the base binder the samples that did not contain sterol had substantially higher high temperature PG values and ATc values nearly twice that of the sterol blend as detailed in Table 8
mixtures. It should be further noted that this resistance to aging is not a function of the base binder used to produce the mixtures. The base binder used for the Evoflex PC2106 and AZ Chemical RS1100 was a PG 58-28 while the control binder and the binder used in the sterol blend was a PG
52-34. Regardless of the base binder the samples that did not contain sterol had substantially higher high temperature PG values and ATc values nearly twice that of the sterol blend as detailed in Table 8
[0138] Further Table 8 shows that the 24 hour, 135 C (275 F) conditioning had the greatest impact on the m-value Critical Temperature value when compared to the Stiffness and m-value critical data shown in Table 7. Additionally Table 8 shows that the main impact of the plant sterol additive is its ability to retard the loss of binder relaxation due to aging. Further the high temperature PG grades of the PG 52-34 control binder and the binders produced with bio derived oils are similar indicating that those additives did not function as rejuvenating materials at either high or low temperatures.

[0139] The high temperature grade of the sterol blend is 10 C to 17 C below the high temperature grades of the other recovered binders, which amounts to 1.5 and nearly 3 full PG
grade changes between the sterol blended binder and the other binder samples.
Using the 20 hour PAV aging low temperature data (Table 7) as a basis of comparison the stiffness critical values have increased by 3.6 C (PG 52-34 control) to as much as 8.9 C (RS1100 blend), but the m-value critical values have increased by 18.8 C (for the PG 52-34 control, 13.6 C (for the Sterol blend) to 23 C for the two bio-derived oil blends. The conclusions drawn from this example are the relaxation properties are impacted more substantially by the presence of the RAS combined with the mixture aging and the sterol containing mixture was impacted the least at both the high and low temperature properties compared to the other binders.

Example 5
[0140] A sample of PG 64-22 asphalt binder obtained from Pemex Refinery in Mexico using Mayan crude was found to have very poor aging properties when subjected to up to 60 hours of PAV aging as compared to a PG 64-22 obtained from a domestic US refinery using Canadian crude. Samples were produced by adding 5% and 7.5% mixed Sterols to the Mexican asphalt binder designated as Asphalto 64-22 and similar samples were produced using the domestically produced PG 64-22. In total 6 binder samples were evaluated. The samples were produced as described in Example 1 and the sterols used are the same as were described in Example 1.

aged condition. High and low temperature PG grades were determined. The low temperature results were obtained using the 4 mm DSR procedure previously described. High temperature grade was determined following ASTM D7175. Also determined was the ATc result at all aging conditions based on the 4 mm DSR data. Also calculated was the Rheological Index also known as R-Value from the 4 mm DSR data. Compositional data from binders in all aged conditions was measured using the Iatroscan procedure and the Colloidal Index calculated from the data.
The data for all tests are summarized in Tables 11, Table 12, Table 13 and Table 14.

The data for all tests are summarized in Tables 11, Table 12, Table 13 and Table 14.
[0142] As a general trend, as asphalt binders age the R-value increases because of decreased ability to relax stress and the Colloidal Index decreases because the amount of asphaltenes increase while saturates remain mostly unchanged and the cyclics decrease with only modest increases in resins. Inspection of the data in Table 11 showed that as the Asphalto 64-22 binder samples with 0%, 5% and 7.5% sterol become successively more aged, the R-Value increases and the Colloidal Index decreases.

[0144] These trends are graphically depicted in Figures 5, 6 and 7. The data plotted in Figure 5 shows the relationship between R-Value and Colloidal Index after various aging conditions. The R-Value-Colloidal Index curve is considerably higher for the 0% sterol blend than for the 5% and 7.5% sterol blends, whose R-Values are 0.5 or more units lower than the corresponding R-Values for the 0% sterol sample. The data also shows that after 20 hours of PAV aging there was a decrease in the R-value for the 7.5% sterol blend compared to the 5% sterol blend thus indicating that there was a dose response effect with the sterol additive for the Asphalto 64-22 binder. Since the colloidal index is a chemical constituent determination and the R-Value is a rheological determination, the high level of correlation between these two parameters suggests that the impact of the sterol has a chemical compositional as well as a rheological basis.
[0145] Figure 6 is a plot of the ATc data obtained from the 4 mm DSR test for the unaged, RTFO, 20 hour PAV, 40 hour PAV and 60 hour PAV conditions for the 0%, 5% and 7.5%
sterol levels for both the Mayan Crude based Asphalto 64-22 and the Canadian Crude based PG 64-22. The Asphalto 64-22 which exhibited significant decrease in ATc with aging was significantly improved with the addition of the sterol additive and again a dose response effect was seen for the Asphalto 64-22 binder although the greatest impact was seen at the 60 hour PAV aged condition. The Canadian Crude based PG 64-22, which does not have a serious problem with negative values of ATc also exhibited some improvement in ATc with aging, but the effect was much less pronounced.

[0146] This comparative analysis of the impact of the sterol additive on asphalt binder binders that exhibit marked differences due to aging suggest that the benefits of the sterol additive are most likely to be of value in asphalt binders that exhibit large decreases in ATc with aging.
[0147] Figure 7 is a plot of R-Value versus Colloidal Index for the Canadian Crude based PG 64-22. The 0% sterol blend showed higher R-Values compared to the 5% and 7.5%
blends. However the difference between the sterol blends and the control 0% blend is about half the difference for the Asphalto 64-22. Figure 8 showed that through a comparison of R-value versus Colloidal Index for the Asphalto 64-22 with 7.5% sterol and the PG 64-22 with no additive that it is possible to move an asphalt binder with severe aging issues closer to the characteristics of an asphalt binder with minimal aging issues.

[0149] The binders were prepared for AFM by application of a small bead to a steel stub. With a knife, the bead was scraped against the surface of the stub and the resulting film heated to 115 C
for about 2 min to allow the film surface to level. AFM images were captured at room temperature on a Bruker Dimension Icon-PTTm Scanning Probe microscope. Both topographic and friction images were obtained after the asphalt films had been annealed 72 hr. to 96 hr. at room temperature.
Antimony doped silicon cantilever tip AFM probes (Bruker Corporation) were used for measurements. Topographic images revealed vertical elevations and declinations associated to surface features, whereas the friction image allowed for differentiation of surface material based on changes in elastic or adhesive properties. The AFM revealed changes in surface composition, without revealing the nature of the change. All the microphotographs show a 20 gm x 20 gm region unless otherwise indicated.

[0150] The AFM data generated was analyzed for surface characteristics and it was discovered that as the binders were aged with increasing levels of sterol, there was an increase in the amount of what we have termed surface defects that developed in the material being imaged. Figures 9 (no sterol), 10 (5% sterol), 11(7.5% sterol) all of which are for 60 hour PAY aged samples, show that the extent to which the surface has become more rough or textured has increased as the images move from 0% to 5% to 7.5% sterol. Table 15 is summary of the surface roughness, expressed as average roughness over the image surface, the average height of the roughness extending out of the surface of the sample, the defect area (i.e. the non-smooth plane of the sample) expressed in gm2 and the defect area expressed as a percent keeping in mind that the area of each image is 400 gm2.

[0151] Figure 12 is a plot of the Colloidal Index versus the surface defects shown in Table 13 expressed as a percent, for the 5% and 7.5% sterol blend 20, 40 and 60 hour PAY residues. This approach was taken because when all aging conditions were included there was a very poor fit of data which seemed to be related to the small observed change in the Colloidal Index for the unaged and RTFO conditions. By focusing on the impact of the sterol additive after significant aging, a relationship between the chemical compositional changes captured by the Iatroscan test and the changes occurring at the molecular level captured by the AFM became more apparent. As the area occupied by the surface defects decreases, the Colloidal Index also decreases which represents a more aged material. Table 13 shows that as the binders age the general trend is for the defect area to decrease. This is interpreted to mean that initially the components that result in binder degradation are agglomerated and as they age these components oxidize resulting in chemical changes that cause the Colloidal Index to decrease. Namely these changes are an increase in asphaltenes and decrease in cyclics. Also the chemical changes result in reduction in the ability of the binder to relax stresses and this is manifested as increases in R-Value and decreases in ATc.
As discussed above, the presence of the sterol additive appears to remove those components that cause property degradation and render them less effective than they would otherwise be. As the data shows, this retardation of degradation is not a permanent change in the binder but can substantially extend the time before the binder will reach the state of degradation were the sterol not present.

[0152] Figure 13 shows two plots of R-Value as a function of the Defect area in the AFM images.
The diamond symbols are for all the binder aging conditions and the open square symbols are the data with the unaged condition data removed. The curve fit for these data is reasonable showing that as the defect area is reduced, the R-Value increases thus representing a more aged condition. The 20, 40 and 60 hour PAY results for the MN1-4 sample with no sterol are in the upper left quadrant and represent the most aged binder region as the R-Value shows. Also the three least aged 7.5%
sterol blends are in the lower right quadrant and represent the least aged condition based on R-Value. In order to provide a less cluttered plot, the unaged sample and unaged control binder data was not included in Figure 13 plot, as the R-values for the unaged samples were essentially the same as those of the control samples because no oxidation had taken place in these samples.

[0153] Another interpretation of the data shown in Figure 14 is that for the 5% sterol blend there is not much change with aging and therefore the 5% addition represents a blend that can be aged through 60 hours with moderate increases in R-Value. The 7.5% sterol addition indicates that in the early stages of aging the sterol actually results in an improvement to the binder by moving the R-Value to a more favorable position (i.e. lower values). For the 7.5% sterol blend it required aging beyond the 20 hour PAV condition to move the R-Value back up to the fitted data line where the 0% and 5% sterol blends began.

[0155] The samples with and without sterol were evaluated in as unaged, in a RTFO, or by 20 hours PAV aging and 40 hour PAV aging for low temperature stiffness critical temperature (TSCrit) and low temperature m-value critical temperature (Tm-Crit) at each aged condition using the above-mentioned 4 mm DSR test method. The ATc parameter was also calculated. The more negative the ATc parameter, the less the binder was able to relax stresses and the more prone to fatigue cracking the mixture containing the binder became.
[0156] The data shown in Table 14 summarizes the low temperature data measured and the ATc results calculated from the measured data.

[0157] It can be seen in Table 14 that although both binder samples begin with similar ATc values, as the binders were aged, they became increasingly more negative for the samples with no sterol relative to the samples with the 5% sterol. At the 40 hour PAV aged condition, the ATc value for the sterol blend was 58% greater than the 40 hour PAV ATc value for the samples without sterol.
[0158] A second series of samples (Blend # 2) was produced and evaluated as described above.
Blend #2 used a PG 58-28 binder with no sterol and was blended with 10% binder recovered from post-consumer waste tear-off shingles. The same PG 58-28 binder was also combined with 7.5% of the Example 1 mixed sterols blended with 20% post-consumer waste tear-off shingles. Samples with and without sterol were aged through the 40 hour PAV condition. The data shown in Table 15 summarizes the results of those tests.

7.5% sterol 20% PAV -27.5 -26.4 -1
[0159] The data in Table 15 shows that even though the no sterol blend contained only half as much recovered shingle binder, the 7.5% sterol/20% shingle binder blend had similar S Critical values and that the even more important m-value Critical grades were nearly identical to those of the no sterol. The 20% shingle binder with 7.5% sterol thus had a ATc value after 40 hours of PAV aging that was only -1 C compared to -4.1 C for the 10% shingle binder with no sterol. In effect the addition of 7.5% sterol enables twice as much shingle binder to be used with this PG 58-28 while still obtaining a better overall performance binder than the 10% shingle binder with no sterol.

[0160] To further evaluate whether the use of mixed sterols could mitigate the excessive ATc results observed with REOB in binders, four samples with varying amount of sterol were evaluated.

[0163] The data shows that for all samples the stiffness and m-value critical temperatures increase with each aging condition and the ATc decreases for each aging condition. In general, for this binder and this amount of REOB, the 2.5% sterol blend is not as effective as the 5% or 7.5% sterol blends, but the 2.5% sterol blend yields results superior to the blend that contains 0% sterol at all aging conditions. The data also shows that the m-value critical temperature increases at a faster rate than does the stiffness critical temperature. That demonstrates that the presence of the REOB
impacts the ability of the binder to relax stresses in a negative manner, but also shows that the presence of the sterol additive retards the impact of the REOB on the increase in the m-value. At the 40 hour PAV condition, the m-value for the 7.5% sterol blend is 3.9 C lower than the 0% blend and the 5% Sterol blend is 2.1 C lower than the 0% blend. The data also shows that the ATc for the 5%
and 7.5% blends at 40 hours of PAV aging is less negative (superior) to the ATc of the 0% sterol blend at 20 hours of PAV aging. Similarly the ATc for the 5% and 7.5% blends at 60 hours of PAV
aging is less negative (superior) to the ATc of the 0% sterol blend at 40 hours of PAV aging. The ATc for the 60 hour 7.5% sterol blend PAV residue is comparable to the ATc for the 20 hour 0%
sterol blend PAV residue. Further the ATc for the 60 hour 5% sterol blend PAV
residue is comparable to the ATc for the 40 hour 2.5% sterol blend PAV residue, and the ATc for the 60 hour 2.5% sterol blend PAV residue is comparable to the ATc for the 40 hour 0%
sterol blend PAV
residue. These data comparisons show that even a low dosage level of the sterol additive improves the aging behavior of the PG 64-22 plus 8% REOB blended binder relative to the control sample with no sterol additive. These data also show there is a definite dose response improvement to the retardation of aging. For this particular PG 64-22 binder blended with 8%
REOB, the 7.5% sterol addition would based on the ATc parameter enable the binder to be aged three times longer than the untreated binder before a similar aging impact would be observed. The 5%
sterol addition would based on the ATc parameter enable the binder to be aged approximately 2.5 times longer than the untreated binder.
